I am still getting some yeast/sediment in my pours and I am thinking about cutting a 1/2-1inch off of my dip tube in each keg.
Has anyone ever done this?

How is all that yeast/sediment getting into your kegs? After the first pint, mine run clean until the end.
A lot of that stuff is good for you.
I dont use my kegs as a secondary. My dip tubes touch the very bottom of the keg so every thing gets sucked up. Thats why I was going to cut a little off
Are your dip tubes straight or curved? If they are curved, when you take them out to clean them next time make more of a bend at the bottom, that will let the dip tube sit further from the bottom of the keg.
I cut about 1 and 3/4 inches off of 1 of mine. I use it as a bright tank. I rack into it on top of gelatin. Next I cold crash and carb at the same time. I then push it in to a serving keg. I lose about 22oz of beer but now I can move serving kegs around without stirring up any sediment. I also don't have to throw out any of the first pulls. I will do a second one when I move up to 10 gal batches.
I've heard of people doing it, and basically making a bright tank. I use gelatin in my kegs and after the first couple pints, the rest of the stuff just sticks together and doesn't come out on the pour.
